She Doesn't Use Social Media Filters

 

Frankel posted a photo of herself in her bra and underwear in August. She revealed in the captioned that she doesn't use social media filters, and encouraged others to do so. "If I were a "filterer" I would have gotten rid of my lines and my dark circles, but this is me at 50," she wrote. "Why do I mention this all the time? Because I think it's important for young women to know that being flawed is truthful and real, and that filtering yourself into someone fictitious is actually damaging to girls' and women's self esteem. It's courageous and beautiful to be real at any age. I realize that fake and filtered sells, but I'm happy over here with my followers who appreciate the difference."
